Custom Home Builder in Temple, Belton & Central Texas
A custom home is a thousand decisions executed in the right order. What separates a good build from a stressful one isn't the granite — it's whether the builder planned the site before pricing the house, locked the budget before pouring the slab, and told you the truth the whole way.
That's how we build. Slickrock Development has contributed to more than 100 homes across Central Texas, from spec houses in Legacy Ranch to our current custom build at Wildflower Country Club — a project you can follow, update by update, on this site.

What We Take On
Scope of Work
Build On Your Lot
City lots or acreage — site evaluation, well and septic where needed, utilities, and a home designed for the land it sits on.
Design Coordination
From concept sketches through engineered plans, coordinated in-house so the design you fall for is one you can afford to build.
Full Construction Management
One contract, transparent draws tied to milestones, and a builder on your job — not a rotating superintendent.
Spec & Investment Builds
We build for the market too — which keeps our costs sharp and our finishes proven before they ever go in your house.
What 100+ homes teaches you
It teaches you where the money hides: in the site work nobody budgeted, the roofline nobody simplified, and the allowances nobody defined. Our pre-construction process pulls all three into the open before you commit.
It teaches you that schedules are made in the first month — permits submitted early, long-lead items ordered on time, and trades booked in sequence. Our builds move because the plan moved first.
And it teaches you that the builder relationship outlasts the build. We're local, our name is on the work, and our warranty gets answered by the people who built the house.

Custom Homes by City
Temple
Home base. Our current custom build is underway at Wildflower Country Club, and our completed Temple work runs from Legacy Ranch spec homes to full custom — drive-by proof beats brochure promises.
Our work in Temple →Belton
Belton's lake lots and hill terrain reward site-first design — slopes, views, septic, and wind exposure all shape the plan before the floor plan starts.
Our work in Belton →Salado
Salado acreage means wells, septic, long utility runs, and homes that should look like they grew out of the hill country. We've built here and design to the village's standard.
Our work in Salado →Georgetown
For Georgetown families outgrowing production builds, build-on-your-lot custom is the step up: your plan, your finishes, and a builder who answers his own phone.
Our work in Georgetown →Where we work
We serve Bell and Williamson County from our home base in Temple — including Temple, Belton, Salado, and Georgetown. See the standard we build to on our projects page and in the photo gallery.
FAQ
Straight Answers
What does it cost to build a custom home in Central Texas?
Most of our builds land between $160 and $400+ per square foot of living space depending on finish level, before land. The cost-to-build guide breaks down what each tier buys.
Can you help us find or evaluate a lot?
Yes — with builder-level due diligence, we evaluate soils, utilities, slopes, and restrictions before you commit to a lot, not after.
How long does a custom build take?
Plan 10–14 months from first design meeting to move-in — roughly 2–4 months of design, selections, and permitting, then 8–10 months of construction.
Do you build outside city limits?
Regularly. Acreage builds with wells, septic, and propane are a big part of our Central Texas work — the site planning just starts earlier.
